Dance, then, wherever you may be.

"Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne
La joie venait toujours apres la peine."
"L'amour s'en va comme la vie est lente
Et comme l'esperance est violente."
-- Guillaume Apollinaire's "Sous le Pont Mirabeau," and with these I agree so much.

From the same poem:
"Passent les jours
Et passent les semaines
Ni temps passe ni les amours reviennent."
With this -- with this I do not always agree.

"Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of All."
- Be Thou My Vision

"I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time."
-- Sara Bareilles' "Let the Rain"

"I keep movin' along
Until I can get through this
But maybe this song is the best I can do it."
-- Vanessa Carlton's "Heroes and Thieves"

"Love beyond degree"
-- "Alas! And did my Savior Bleed"

"How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure"
-- "How Deep the Father's Love for Us"

"My voice shakes along with my hands."
-- Stephen Speaks' "Out of my League"

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the LORD, 'plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a hope and a future.'"
-- Jeremiah 29:11

"How much do I love you?
Count the stars in the sky
Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon
Number the grains of sand on the seashore
Impossible, you say?"
-- Philip Glass' "Knee Play 5"
